Welcome to the online information session for the Central Florida Community College (CFCC) Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program! This information is intended for those interested in becoming associate degree nurses through the CFCC program. We hope you find this information clear and helpful. At the end of this online program you will have an opportunity to give us input or ask questions about this session. Please let us know how we can improve the information to make it more beneficial to our future students!
